Dictionary of Artists

 

To meet the requirement of scholars, art dealers, collectors or simple amateurs of having a quick and effective tool at their disposal to satisfy the various exigencies connected with the world of art, first of all the in-depth analysis of the work of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, etc., the "Dictionary of artists" puts itself up as an annotated list of names, sometimes accompanied, if marked by an asterisk, by a biography and by some signature examples.

Each artist is matched with a series of index cards regarding the works registered in the Data Bank of the Matteucci Institute, which can be issued on request.

The biographies are taken from the Dizionario degli artisti edited by Cristina Bonagura, integral part of the work Pittori & pittura dell'Ottocento italiano (1996-1997), coordinated by Giuliano Matteucci with the cooperation of Paul Nicholls and realized by the Redazioni Grandi Opere of the "Istituto Geografico De Agostini", to whom the Matteucci Institute expresses its sincere thanks for authorizing the circulation of the texts on line.

 

Colzani Maria*

COLZANI MARIA
Milano 1879 - Varese 1977
Allieva dell’Accademia Libera di Pittura di F. Carcano, si dedicò inizialmente alla figura prediligendo studi di teste di bimbi o effigiando i propri cari in immagini dal tono intimo e raccolto come nel Ritratto di mia madre del 1905, oggi in collezione privata. Avvicinatasi alla pittura di paesaggio per influenza di L. Bazzaro e di E. Gola, l'artista espose con frequenza alla Permanente fin dal 1899; dopo il 1920, per le sue idee socialiste finì col ritirarsi a vita appartata.
